Bloomberg.com - Black or White (Safari vs Firefox) (noir.bloomberg.com)

1 points by lowkey ↗ HN
I'm hoping someone can help me figure out what is going on with the Bloomberg website (www.bloomberg.com). I recently noticed when visiting this site from Firefox that the styling has changed significantly, specifically the background has changed from black to white and the layout has also changed. Now I much prefer the old style to the new, but more importantly I recently visited the same site from Safari only to find the old (Black Background) design still in full operation. When I visit www.bloomberg.com from Safari I am re-directed to noir.bloomberg.com

So, here I think I'm onto something and I return to Firefox, type in noir.bloomberg.com and wait for the magic - but no luck - instead I am redirected back to www.bloomberg.com and forced to endure their new (and crappy, IMHO) white background website.

What gives? Are they just subjecting me to an A/B test against my will? Is there anything I can do to get my precious noir Bloomberg back on Firefox?

Help!
